<p>[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 7562719, member: 75143"]And, as OP mentioned, the collecting strand goes very far and wide, and emperors as late as Arcadius minted these in a <i>TINY</i> module; this example is a whopping 11mm but still somehow manages to retain a good amount of detail on the scaled-down campgate. I do like the degeneration of the depiction of levels. Instead of clearly defined layers, this has mis-placed "blocks" that instead hint at multiple levels instead of portraying them. I suspect this was a good work-around to show a number of levels on such a small coin without crowding it too much.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1304016[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
